Hi John

Sorry if I was being obscure.

What I mean is the reading age a person has to be to understand a piece of 
writing. For example, tabloid newspapers in-the UK are allegedly written so 
that a 9 year old can understand them.

I’m writing some explanatory leaflets for a charity I am involved with and 
colleagues keep contributing text that reads more like a sociology lecture than 
a clear description of what people can expect in a particular situation. I 
thought if I could demonstrate the reading age their stuff was coming out as, 
they might be persuaded to be a little more inclusive in-their communication 
style.

You can do this in MS Word, as I said, but I can’t see how to do it in Pages or 
Text Edit. 

I was hoping that, like the Nano count app I used to use in Text Edit for a 
word count, there would be something similar to assess reading age.

Cheers

Adrienne
